Prince Orin hates the new mating system his ships have taken on, and he's doing everything he can to stop it. That is until he sets eyes on Desmond. His desire for the gorgeous mate has him struggling to hold onto his values.
He can't fight his heart for long. When he realizes his new love is carrying his child, he will stop at nothing to claim him as his mate.
If Prince Orin gives into his passion for Desmond, he could ruin his entire campaign, and with so many innocent mates depending on him, he can't afford to let his impulses rule him. On the other hand, no man has ever moved him the way Desmond does, and if he doesn't claim him, he may never meet another man like him. There's also the matter of who Desmond will be subjected to if left to the selections of the lesser-moraled elite roaming the explorer ship.
